One of the most sensible anil well written letttcrs on this subject that we nave seen, appears in the issue of the Xms net (' >ii!'\r of the 10th instant. The letter lobars learnedly to prove a very plain proposition in political economy, that the peasant proprietor, improving his own homestead and paying for it in his labor, is a much more valuable and reliable worker than lie who is dependent for his livelihood from day to day upou a precarious system of wages. The system of hired labor, uninterested in the ownership of the soil, and subject to the misfortune an J caprices of the large landed proprietor. is as fatal to tlie ultimate prosperity of the State, as the sinful and opprobrious j slave labor. Indeed, except in name j there is little difference. This letter closes , as follows : It is manifestly the interest of individ- j uals as well us communities to make peasant ( proprietors of the immigrants ivho come j among them. l?ut how is the desirable object to be effected in South Carolina? j By ijtt tnt/ th> I to the miui 'i'intiits In ) our State there i> over lli,O0n.UU0 acres j ! farmable land, riot a fourth of which is | I improved and under cultivation. The rel maiudcr is hold in large tracts, not one of' j which would sell for any thing like the ! figure at which it is assessed. In fact ' i the bulk>d k i? nisaloahle ami a burden to ! the proprietors. If this laud w.-re diiid ed into sections of ten or fifteen acres, and j each alternate section com ."ml in t. -iuip 1 c to a -ctthlic iMnilv the Icul lilno ' section.- woul I iucreasc from ; i tw- 11ty-fold iu value, and the gciimnl prospeii ty of the State be proport! match . n haneed Life occupancy ui long le isc of the land would not prove near so beneficial as conveyance in fee -i nple to K.i L n,.| 11,t case, feel the magic of proper1.wliicli is the real stii?iulti> toprogressiv. indu-hy \\ lieu iho sttlling immiirratit i too pi...r to stock his farm it would be a profitable investment to lj.au bitu the n??-??? v capital and take a niortpagc <>n Iris f win. brim, careful, however, always to pi v.- him a fair chance t>f paying off the i.e.rtgage In continental Kitrope nearly every peasant. on buying n piece el'land, t-ek.- it this way, and it is an agreeable i .et, very creditable also to the peasants, ti.it >uc!i mortgages are almost always paid ti The plan I have suggested of givin. immigrants land, is everybody knows anything hut new 15nt, heretofore, want of an agency to carry it into effect has render cd it impracticable. Such an agency we now have in the granges, which are planted in every county in the State. Let each landholder report to his nearest grange how much land he can give. Let the secretaries of the granges keep a record <d' the land tluia offered, and communicate with 1 >r. Newman at Castle Garden. New York, villi the licrmnn Society of ('liar- , lest on, or perhaps even with Mr. Joseph Arch in Kiiglun<l. In a short time large number- of desirable immigrant could thus be attracted to our State?iuiuiL rants who would prefer to locate in South <'ur"- | linu, but arc now carried to the i?r ufl ' plains of the West by the inducement of cheaper land. In uudcrtakim. thi.work the grangers would also a-umei the position of arbitrator between tin land- j bolder and the immigrants to insure that i justice is done on both side- 1 mm a ! knowledge ot'numerous discussion- that, have recently occurred in the prance I , feel confident that they are iipe t o- tlie J 1 ' ii> mid that I lie line ?ii\i ' I"v'l u:}? only iic l.o taken to ia-sure tin .ut< ?. till nccuiiij.li diluent ..I' ihc on I 11., iiiij.'ii taii<'o i t llu j WoiL to the wells.'

We felt I Htifflfd that th? immigrant nsuid grow ? I dissatisfied. and Would never consent to | ' j work at the low rate, and on the sharp line j ] i of distinction which centuries have drawn I t between the lordly proprietor and the j t poor workingman. No immigrant will ' ( leave even the hardship of his home and ; come three thousand miles to live in a <li- j ! ' [ lapidated cabin or a miserable kitchen, I > i and to feed his ehildreii on bacon and t ' hominy, a kind of food to which lie is nt-1 . terly unaccustomed. 'J lie instant he !, found out the lute that was reserved for , t him. he would .-trike against it, would de- j \ i sen his contract, would write numerous t j letters abroad against, us. and turn the tide j \ ' in some other direction.

Mr. Davis declined to accede to their request, saying -that in view of his peculiar situation, it would be of little benefit to our people, or the principles to which we are all devoted, and that the occasion might be seized by those who differ from us to take advantage of anything he might say for the purpose of using it to our injury." He said further, that it had been his resolution after the war to make no public speeches, and that on the occasions when he had deviated from this rule, the results had just ified the wisdom of silence. As, tor instance, when lie made a few remarks on the occasion of the meeting of the v uthei-n Historical Society, last summer, at ihe Green briar White Sulphur Springs. hi- utterances had been eagerly seized upcti by the partizau press of the Xorth and Went. and perverted to our injury, lie remarked that for himself, personally, lie did not regard the clamor, but deplor d the mischief to his people.
